Back when I started with this company they did preventive trimming. Now trees only get cut if they damaged our plant. The cable co has no poles of thier own. They attach to the power or telephone poles. Just drop it Scott. Maybe Ill get some overtime out of it.
Pizza oven...........be careful what kind of stone you use if you go that route. Stone does not like the heat and can pop, ruin a lot of time and work
Very nice work! I have a drainage ditch on my property that needs the same treatment. When can I schedule you in?
Actually, no joke, I MAY put the two pieces of pipe we have leftover down where the ditch passes my main stacks. I'd then have room for 6 more 5'x5' skids.....do the math........
Thank you! She sure is! That fireplace project is one of the pinnacles of my existence. I have a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in that lump of rocks!
You can now file a complaint online. There was a tree on the cable line down the street that the cable company would not removed since the cable was still up; I contacted the FCC and the next day the tree was gone. I was not going to wait for the internet to go out; preventive maintenance is important.
Having the right tools for the job can be nice. I wanted to cut down a slope for a road to back of the property; I was too scared to drive the tractor on the incline. I ended up wheelbarrowing the wood down the hill to a staging area where I could then load it on the tractor, at least is was downhill with the wood. If I had a bobcat I could have cut the road in short order.
Good job, Scotty! It turned out real nice. We also have some ditch/drainage work to be done. I'm looking forward to it, just need the time.
You are correct in having the right tools. A few months ago my wife and I were looking at our driveway which was terrible for trucks to enter with propane and for the livestock dealer with his trailer when he picked up our sheep. So at 7PM, Katie forms this idea of where she wanted her new driveway to go that was circular in shape, about 500 feet long and included moving a culvert from our old driveway down 250 feet to our new driveway. As I said that was at 7 PM at night. I have a bulldozer, so starting at 8 AM and finishing at 11:00 AM her new driveway was done, including bulldozing the culvert out of the old driveway, pushing it into place for the new driveway and then turning the old driveway into lawn. I could have never done it without the bulldozer. Now I know not having pictures means it never happened, but I have proof. I might have been pretty proud of myself, but the town I live in was not. We had a battle for several weeks on whether I had built a new driveway, or had simply moved one. I guess in the end it was a draw. They said it was a new one so I had to have a driveway permit, yet while that fee is a ludicrous $25, I never had to pay it because I always had 2 driveway entrances into the road. I still say I simply moved it. I mean if there is two mailboxes beside the road, and you have to move one down by 250 feet you did not put in a new mailbox because the address never changed. Pretty simple logic to me and I'd be darned if I would pay $25 to the town. They already get enough of my money through taxes.
